when near the end Uta said "you're a natural born actress" I genuinely started crying too. It is frustrating when you have a talent and a passion that seems to be stifled. It is AGONY when you don't get a chance to express and set the spirit free!!!! You can genuinely feel your soul dying. That is genuine agony.

When my acting students ask for a video to help with their acting this is the 'go to' for me. Her analysis is so keen and her advice, priceless. Her humanity and kindness towards her actors is moving.
Uta Hagen is a treasure. Love her books. I’m a big believer in memorizing lines well, without any preconceived expression, so I can react truthfully in the moment. I’ve been using the Dialogmaster Pro rehearsal app to practice my lines, so when I go to an audition or perform, I don’t have to think about the lines, I can just focus on what the other characters are giving me to react to. It’s making the preparation process so much easier 😊 Thank you for uploading this, HB Studios 😊 ❤️
19:30 23:11 - destination 49:15 - inner object - imagine shopping list while buttoning coat 58:35 - substitution - transferring the way we behave with the choice. Not endowing. We don't hang onto imagined person. We use the relationship quality from the choice and put the behaviour on the actor. 1:04:14 - physicality confrontation - work out choreography beforehand so it can be spontaneous 1:09:01 - recreating physical sensations
Uta, my teacher for one semester (she thought I was lazy and would NOT allow me to plead my case: I had studied with her husband for four years!). She learned from Eva LeGallienne who learned from Eleonora Duse: who as Eva says was "The Mystic in the Theatre". I saw Uta perform a one-woman show at Washington University in St. Louis. (I had been admitted to her class in 1962 but she went on the road with "Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf" so I left NYC. When I saw her backstage at Wash. U., 18 years later, she informed me that she had been on tour for only a short time and I could have studied with her if I had stayed in NYC. Her performance at Wash. U. revealed her love and adoration of Herbert Beghof. They truly deserve great credit for their work at HB Studios. Tuition is kept very low to work with excellent teachers making it very close to the ideal of Eleonora and Eva who also both desired to have a naional theater. I believe that they had the closest thing to what could be called a national theater in the US,
I went into this thinking I’d just watch the first 30 minutes or so and then come back to it on another day. But I got so sucked in that when I went to check how long I had been watching, it was already 2 and a half hours in!
She reminds me so much of the drama club teacher. I'm watching this for my theatre class, and it was very insightful. My favorite take away; "what did I just do? what am I doing now? What do I want? and go for it."
58:27 This is me. I struggled with this at school and still. I had a major aha moment now. Generally I would carry around the image of the person instead of behaviour and I'd find it would pull me out of the emotion because your scene partner is *not* Brad Pitt, but now I sense what she's saying. It's a mechanical physical thing rather than an emotional thing. It's like when I'm too nervous to go to a party, I transfer my "actor" self to the situation and I end up being the most popular person at the party. I just figured out Substitution. Omg! 😂 😂 😂
acting as a skill is so fascinating to me and i've come back to this video over and over again because of it. seeing how uta's advice turned the grown ups scene from a depressing drama to a hilarious, relatable dramedy was amazing!! and the actors who took her advice and reworked the scene are phenomenal.
Really great acting here... I believed every bit of their acting. Reminds me a lot of James Dean's acting also. She is a great teacher. I would love to watch more of this and I understand lots of this. I am not an actor professionally but I do feel I have an actor's heart. I would like to get a little into acting. I like her a lot.
1:58:52: "I know! But this is your biggest problem as an actress. You find a mask and you stick to the mask. You forget what's underneath. Never mind these masks. Take 'em off." Man, that is *genius* . What a teacher.
at the 1 hour 6 minute scene (where I'm at now) the taming of the shrew was SO HARD TO WATCH!!! She was clearly leading this scene physically and tripping up the actor in the scene. It just turned into screaming her lines and falling back on physical acting to cover up. It genuinely FELT exhausting and was clearly exhausting for him to try to stay in character for the scene. I thought he did rather well despite all the tripping up he had to deal with.
I love the finding a lost item assignment. I constantly lose things and slowly get more angry the more I can't find it. I would end up spilling all the contents of my bookbag onto the floor to make sure it wasn't sticking to the sides or in some small pocket. Knowing myself, the last thing that would happen was that the ticket is already in my bookbag. Great acting exercise.
I met Uta Hagen, I sat next to Strasberg and taped him for the Studio, I studied with Stella Adler, my friend studied with Wynn Handman. Who do students go to nowadays?
I can do this. I think I can give emotion when its needed. And give my input how it should work. The man was sincere, the woman seems like shes acting. Emotion she says it. Its 🔑
The biggest problem with actors is they think of THEIR acting as a "character." Once you think of yourself in a third person you already lost.. The best actor was at 30:00 the most natural.

Hi there, here's a list of Meisner videos! I love his technique too! What's your favourite? Popular Videos - Sanford Meisner: ruclips.net/p/PL5QXKuc7Y-HsomIXLZA_zF1vLK-ekgU_k
I've learned so much! I'm pretty good at naturally being in the moment. So things like the music being on and me reacting to it more authentically is a skill I'm naturally good at. For the lady who was on the phone and her father asked if the kids were good I personally would have looked to the side to act like I could see th to then say they were ok. Things like that I'm naturally good at. When it comes to basic facial expressions and getting upset or screaming or yelling that's where I have a hard time because it's not genuinely who I am and I tend to shy away from danger. It's something I need to work on.
Can someone help me to understand one of Uta's criticisms (around 2.15)? It was when she was telling the students the scene was too dramatic when it should have been a comedy. What would have been wrong with it being dramatic versus a comedy when in real life, both happen?
I think it was to add layers. Even in life most things have subtext to them and little moments of comedy joy etc because it’s not sustainable to be so dramatic through and through. if a director wants that ( a dramatic scene) the. that’s what they’ll direct but as an actor you want what’s going to be most believable to most people and layered and interesting. it’s more interesting to play with with comedic and dramatic undertones rather than just one. i hope this helps :)
What year was this? I was surprised to see her smoking inside. Reminded me of the 80s and early 90s when you could smoke almost anywhere. New York started banning it in 2003 while California started in 1995...so I assume this video was before 2003
She's talking about the emotional investment in how audiences connect with a characters objective. How invested the actor is will influence how invested the audience will be. If the actor practices discovery in rehearsal rather than just to replicate the performance, each performance can be an opportunity to learn something new which can keep the possibilities open and fresh. I know it's 2 years later but hope it helps. 😂
But the great thing about these videos is that we can see, almost immediately, what their limitations are and whether or not Hagen's criticisms made any difference.
The girl in the long skirt wasn’t very good or convincing her script didn’t fit her personality the way she looked and her pitch of voice. The man was very good and very convincing and very good.
when near the end Uta said "you're a natural born actress" I genuinely started crying too. It is frustrating when you have a talent and a passion that seems to be stifled. It is AGONY when you don't get a chance to express and set the spirit free!!!! You can genuinely feel your soul dying. That is genuine agony.

She’s so warm and kind as well as honest and helpful - amazing teaching style
I laughed. I cried. holy shit. Uta is a God.

I got scared! She is so passionate and amazing!
Great acting class! Thank you HB Studio..
I have no intention of ever becoming an actor but I enjoy her teaching!!
Wow. This is the best training I've ever seen!
If only I could afford classes... Thank you HB for these types of videos. Hope to someday be able to come learn from the best.
We get this for free???!! I recieved so many gems from this! Thank you Uta!!!

Practice activities before lines…I will remember that. Great advice.
What a wonderful class by Uta Hagen .. she is a treasure
taught me everything I know when I saw her in collected stories and 6 dance lessons
I can do this. I think I can give emotion when its needed. And give my input how it should work. The man was sincere, the woman seems like shes acting. Emotion she says it. Its 🔑

Excellent Video... Loved it...
NOTE: In a lot of places, the background music was a little too LOUD making it hard to hear and understand her...
Excellent teaching style. I love it
She’s so smart and kind. 🙌🙌

Uta is brilliant.
Thank you so much. This is a life changing discovery.
can see a few recognisable faces in the class! this woman was a great!
Please the name of the redhead ?
The Barefoot in the Park scene at 53'ish in worked much better the second time around.
Robert Lee, Countertenor yes ... and use a little subtext. Agreed.
Uta is delight a real honor .
The best.
that second stab at Grown-ups, wow!! just WoW!!

Shot in Toronto, not HB studio.

You must not concentrate in your movement but in your text. Uta used to say
Great!
What year was this? I was surprised to see her smoking inside. Reminded me of the 80s and early 90s when you could smoke almost anywhere. New York started banning it in 2003 while California started in 1995...so I assume this video was before 2003
2001
What is the play and Who is the playwright for Grown Ups ? 2:09:23
1:32:37 hit right in the feels :(
I don't understand the last exercise - why is the performance so good bc she had a good inner monologue ?
Awesome. Please upload Meisner's materclasses
Well done.
love the cigarette. a true diva.
Isn’t that Judith Scott at 23:40?
Part 2: 1:33:53
Anybody know who the actress is at 25:00 ?
Judith Scott
Can someone place the redheaded actress after the coat buttoning?
She's a very good instructor
1:52:58 It's professor walsh from Buffy :)
Uta hagen rules
Why does the soundtrack to a lot of these videos contain a clarinet ....does that add authenticity to the information..
It's so difficult to succeed as an actor,,, where are all these actors are now, nobody teaches you how become a working actor
Anybody know where any of the students are now?
Hollywood
1:48:35 Waiting
I truly don't understand the reaction of the observers during the scene between The couple with the child off screen. The topic was so serious...
1:16:18 Is that Matthew Mcconaughey?
This dvd was recorded in 2004?
2001
Judith Scott 🖤
48:30 - can someone can explain what she want to explain? I can't get it
She's talking about the emotional investment in how audiences connect with a characters objective. How invested the actor is will influence how invested the audience will be. If the actor practices discovery in rehearsal rather than just to replicate the performance, each performance can be an opportunity to learn something new which can keep the possibilities open and fresh. I know it's 2 years later but hope it helps. 😂
The distressing thing is that in all probability virtually none of these students wound up as working actors.
Lindsay Crouse 2:48:48
Amanda Peet 20:55
31:49 christine lahti. she was on the blacklist and several movie:)
But the great thing about these videos is that we can see, almost immediately, what their limitations are and whether or not Hagen's criticisms made any difference.
@@lifeinsaltlakecity4001 What are your views on why that is?
🎭🎭Uta Thyra Hagen🎭🎭
The girl in the long skirt wasn’t very good or convincing her script didn’t fit her personality the way she looked and her pitch of voice. The man was very good and very convincing and very good.
The "6th sense" is what Stanislavski refered to as dual consciousness i believe
23:00
2:30:00
55:00
just a reminder for myself

This woman is an angel compared to Stella Adler, Stella was one mean teacher. Luckily I never took her class in person (before my time).
23:27 I didn't get why the laughs
The actor is doing that private moment in the mirror where you're a "confident model", like you're posing for a picture.
That "Barefoot in the Park" scene was deadly. No momentum, no chemistry, no sense of timing.
the second time was AWAY better tho...
That's why the are there. To learn and progress.
